How We Can Make Education Debt-Free!
I was recently honored by NYU Stern with the Charles Waldo Haskins Award.?I was deeply moved and humbled to receive such an honor.?Five years ago, I gave the graduating address at Stern where I told the graduates that my wish for them was that they have the grit to find their way, and the courage to find their why.
That was, and is, my wish for all who graduate.
Today’s students are graduating with a different set of burdens that many of us didn’t have.?They’re also stepping into a different, more complex world.?That’s why I’m so passionate about alleviating mental stress and making a Stern education debt-free.
That’s why I’m asking the NYU community to take the new Founders and Entrepreneurs Pledge -- which is a way for this school and future graduate to grow along with alumni success.?The Founders and Entrepreneurs Pledge is a new way to give to Stern when you’re ready.?The pledge is a non-binding promise and set up for you to donate when you’re ready in the way that you see fit.
You can pledge to give cash, public stock or private equity.?At some future date, you fulfill your pledge to the University and know you will have affected thousands of students and changed their lives for the better.
My hope is that the future women and men of Stern not only have the grit to find their way – and the courage to find their why.?Make a pledge to help me make Stern debt-free for future students.
I want to especially thank those you have already made the pledge!

2 年I enjoyed meeting you at the NYU Haskins event, and wondered if you had any reaction to my wife Diane’s work in the education field with mindfulness training?
